1. avocados:
   A super tasty fruit, filled to the brim with mono-unsaturated fat.
2. barbies:
   If my sister and I combine the dolls we played with, there are over 50. If we add in all the ones that are still in the boxes (collector items) there are nearly 300.

   Shoot, I didn't spend a single day there this summer. The ( Read more... )

My dad is on a quest to teach me about guns. At least a little bit. I have handled guns since I was little, but I never knew names or specifications or how much better one thing can do compared to another and blah blah blah. This all started the other day when he asked me if I wanted to shoot some birds (grouse) with him near the Chena River. With ( Read more... )

WowEEE where have I been these days? I almost don't know, especially since this summer has zoomed by so well that I can't keep up with anything. Let's see, there's been a lot of working, sleeping, hiking, movie watching, driving, dancing and Leigh-stabbing all wrapped up into the Summer '05 ball with NO BOY ACTION INCLUDED! It is true that I, ( Read more... )

My head is floating, I'm in such a great mood. I just got home from the final day of my weekend-long humanities class, and I got the joy of taking home a great comment from the instructor. Not that anyone really knows, but I haven't been having the best of luck in Academia lately, so hearing "Christina, you are exceptional" from a person I have so ( Read more... )

Yesterday was the summer solstace. That means fun in the sun on the longest day of the year, while at the same time realizing the sunlight will slowly stop being out so much. Ah well, as long as the time is celebrated, losing daylight shouldn't be such a big deak. How to celebrate? Go to the 100th Midnight Sun Baseball Game of course! The plan: Get ( Read more... )

- All finished training at the Fairbanks depot. The person who was supposed to be hired to work the Fairbanks position didn't pass his drug test, so I'll be covering the spot here all next week. This postpones moving to Denali ( Read more... )

Moody Tunnel collapsed. It was the second tunnel the train would go under en route to Denali heading south. Yikes! right? Fortunately it happened when the train was no where near the tunnel, but still, that's some crazy stuff. Thinking about it, I was working on that train for at least three days, sometimes four days a week for an entire summer two ( Read more... )

I attempted to sleep. I failed miserably. After being horizontal in my bed for almost two hours I decided to get up and tinker around on the computer. What did I find? About a whole lot of nothing. Nearly nothing. I am listening to some old music that I've put on it a long time ago. Currently the words "I'm, giving you everything, all that joy can ( Read more... )

This morning I went to the Occupational Health Center to get a physical and have a drug and alcohol test done. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to give a urine sample (there were problems last time and they had to give me juice in order to squeeze something out) so I drank a bottle of water on my way to the clinic. Right as I was walking in ( Read more... )
